Lately I’ve been suggesting Mint or PopOS for laymans looking to swap to linux, but do any of you know of any good gaming distros with a driver manager GUI built in ala Mint?
I’ve tested most gaming distros with latest (nvidia) hardware and they do not run most major titles out of the box due to driver issues. If there were a gui for driver rollbacks while having great general performance, I could see it beating out Mint/PopOS for my recommendation. Being able to install .deb files is quite nice for laymans too, though I don’t know of any other deb based OSes that run well out of the box.
Garuda is what you’re looking for, Arch base with performance tweaks and usually bleeding edge kernals officially supported. Comes in 2013 rgb gamer wet dream, and normal flavors. Also works out of the box with Nvidia(as long as you let it load with proprietary drivers). Doesn’t have deb support obviously but snap and flatpack are fairly normie friendly these days.
+1 to this used to use it and has all the wine packages pre installed so its super simple to setup lutris. I’ve since needed to go back to Windows just because there is no AMF encoding support for sunshine on Linux AFAIK
Does it have a driver gui?
Yes it does.
